HI guys,

Something strange happens with my computer. It advised me of low storage space. I then uninstalled big programs like adbobe acrobat, office, etc. All of them should have more than 1.5 GB. But the computer after uninstall still shouws me 380 MB????

I have purge all files with Norton utility and still 380 MB. I cant delete any more stuff.. what can i do to get the space i have???

Any help would be appreciated.

Polo

Theres also an excellent utility on Nonags.com that shows you a visual representation of your disk. This way, you can easily see where all of the space is being taken up.

In addition, I have found two things that take up disk space:

System Restore (can take up a bit)
And then the most EVIL of all utilities that lots of companies use (UK: Tiny, Gateway, PCs from PCWorld) - Second Chance. This little g1t took up 8Gb of space on a relative's machine! (her disk was only 20Gb anyway lol)....

Anyway I will be quiet and give you the link to the utility I mentioned:

This is also available via the Nonags website (scroll down the page to Sequoiaview):
